Electric Guitar

An electric guitar is a type of guitar that uses electromagnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into electrical signals, which are then amplified through an amplifier and speaker. It typically features a solid or semi-hollow body, a neck with frets, and six strings, though seven, eight, and even twelve-string electric guitars are also available.

Electric guitars are versatile instruments that are used in a wide range of musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, country, metal, and more. They offer a broad palette of tones and textures, allowing players to achieve a variety of sounds through different pickup configurations, amplifier settings, and playing techniques. Some iconic electric guitar models include the Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul, Fender Telecaster, and Gibson SG.
